1971 Newport 30 Sailboat
The new Fridge arrived. Fits really well. This is the Isotherm Cruise 65 Clean Touch Stainless Steel, 2.3 cu.ft., AC/DC
Still need to design and build out the galley shelving around it but it’s good to have it so I can finalize measurements for the panels.
With help from my friend Viktar, made new teak trim and bulkhead to box in the tile area, lined it with HDPE, and set tile on mortar.
When the new water tank level gauge was wired in it turned out to be dead and showing “Full” all the time, for any level. A new gauge put in today finally shows real water level.
In prep for testing the fireplace & gas cooking stove, wired in and mounted combo CO / LP leak alarm. Put in 85 Series from MTI.
The custom tiles I cut a few weeks back are now ready to go. We’ve added 3 more full size tiles to complete the set. This final set includes: beach umbrella, mermaid cat, kelp, waves, swimmer, fish, looking glass, and a tiny compass rose.
The final piece of the puzzle was put in place today with some help from my friend Viktar: we connected and tested the fresh water pump. With that, fresh water system plumbing is complete! The original plan was perfectly executed in 3 months.
My friend Viktar helped wire in a new outlet.
Installed LED strips on each side of the saloon. Made them hidden close to the deck/hull join, which created great warm ambient light. Love it!
